short of me jumping on his back and riding him like a bronco -- and im 6'6" 230 -- to his spot on the lane i only say pretty please once -- i dont like players trying to walk over me and ill put them in line in a mens/high school/rec/college game if i think they are trying to walk over me.

you still havent explained how we didnt take charge and your solutions so far i find absurd -- a) bounce the ball and then just whistle a violation (which is not proper mechanics and bad officiating anyways) and b) to ask the coach and captain (its not my job to ask for help if i ask the player -- or tell the player what to do).

i just want to know who gets to chose matchup -- offense or defense in the lanes. In 6 years this is my first time coming across this and i went through the rules/case book and didnt find anything addressing this. As far as how i handled it -- i dont doubt the validity of how i handled it since it was one player that i was adressing and only one player that was initiating this. Please dont make this a philosophical discussion anymore i just would like to know defense or offense.
